Coffee price lifts the Gastronoms distance: The government mismanaged with the sharing of tools

In this regard, the Kosovo Competition Authority has warned convictions.

In an interview for Online Economy, Arian Vranica, from the Gastronomous Association, said within this association there is no report of coffee price hikes.

The Kosovo Gastronom Association, except that it represents sectoral interests, of the gastronomy sector, it has 420 members, and within these members there are no reports that there are price hikes, but whatever it is, it's obvious that there are also reports that there are price hikes in some municipalities, of the price of coffee we're talking”.

“We as the association have distanced from these actions that are illegal and conflicted with the competition protection law, namely with the Kosovar Competition Authority, and the agreements, and it's not one thing that's allowed, even though we understand the poor performance of the gastronomy sector that leads with any other industry, and it would have been available and understood a rise in the price of coffee, especially during the Rama era that is a bad period in gastronomy afarmism, especially after the barriers, said.

Vranica points out more important and more disturbing to investigate the growth of food products, and to initiate investigative procedures against them, rather than deal with gastronomy and businesses.

The “is evidenced that compared to March and February we have had a different price increase, and the same is not, so we urge them to initiate investigative procedures regarding different products, such as oil, flour and other products that have been raised and that is to be concerned about”, he said.

He said he has to have equal access to all sectors and not toʹte only to gastronomials, since it is shown in other sectors.

So we specifically called out, even though it's very normal to have a price increase, but these are the subject decisions of any business that can and not collective with certain agreements. However, there has to be an equal approach to all sectors not to put our finger on only gastronomy, when we know this phenomenon is presented to other sectors”, Vranica said.

The recent decision on access to tools, and the budget sharing for these sectors, Vranica considers it disproportional and mismanagemental, as compared to certain sectors such as the drugstores, the bread ovens that have been constantly working, are unacceptable and should be cancelled.

“has been a disproportionate division, and it has been a mismanagement of Kosovo's budget, we know that Kosovo's budget has big trouble with sharing such aloations, there has been a lot of respect, for the drugs, for the bread ovens that didn't have to be that, because when it comes to the sectors that have suffered damage, normally that even compensation didn't get the right”.

So we're seeing that even the last decision that was made, it had to be annulled, so that's a bad consequence of budget management, and the same one had to be proportional to the damages caused to”, he said, among other things.

A gastronomial angle, according to him, will take a long time, as no research report estimates that 36% of businesses need 3-12 months to recover, while 50% will take more than a year to get back to normal.

The key to the gastronomy sector after completing the pandemic, 36% of businesses according to the research report will take 3-12 months to recover in normal condition, while over 50% of the businesses will need more than a year to return to normal, and such decisions have been irresponsible, for such budget divisions as we talked about, he concluded.
